Review of Linux Compatibility

Unfortuantely MSI sells several DVB-T USB sticks under the name of “MSI DigiVox Mini II V3.0″, and only the version with the AF9015 chipset is supported without hassles under Linux. It is not possible to distinguish the different types of stick while purchasing it, only the USB ID provides the necessary information to distinguish the sticks. The Linux supported version has the USB-ID 15a4:9016

The version 15a4:9016 is supported at least since Ubuntu-Version 8.10 automatically. Only the firmware files for the DVB-T stick have to be installed. These files are part of Ubuntu’s linux-firmware-nonfree package which can be installed by:

sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

If the firmware files are not provided by the used Linux distribution they can be downloaded in the following way:
